I've been reading up on lime and one web site says to put lime down in
fall and spring. I'm in the Atlanta area with a soil ph of 5.5. My
yard is beautiful with expensive fescue sod that is 1.5 years old.
Can I put down lime now (in July)?

Yes! I think it will improve your lawn. Test again in 6 months and
repeat application if pH is below 6.5. You may find your lawn pH can
differ in places. There is some controversy about applying lime and
fertilizer at the same time. The pellitized lime is easier to apply
than the ag lime.
